  1. 55 Watts! on Tilera To Release 100-Core Processor · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I guess I gotta RTFA; Man it's past my bedtime.

  2. Re:Another solution on Save the Planet, Eat Your Dog · · Score: 1

    Local-grown does probably make a difference. I am not an engineer, and don't want to do any of the math, but the "average" figures TFA uses may be a YMMV kind of thing. My Dad has a cow-calf operation on ten acres. A bull, three cows, and usually three calves. Homegrown feed, scraps from a local bakery, a lot of handcart action; Beef on a first-name basis, with a low "carbon-footprint". A German Shepherd may be pretty resource-intensive, but dogs are coprophagous FCOL! Table scraps are a big step up.

    I believe if you can't be giving your bird freedom, you shouldn't be keeping it as a pet. My old friend, Peppy, only went in the cage at night for protection from the cats. Any bird that won't climb down and jump on your finger ain't much fun anyhow.

  5. Re:Justice is only available to the rich on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 1

    Don't go confusing findings with facts, I've personally gone to jail for "crimes" that, had they factually occurred, I would not have been guilty of, anyway. Not a damn thing to be done either.

  6. Re:isn't that why we have judges on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 1

    It COULD be the help, but if it is,I don't think the failure rate would be that high. I've been around Law Firms just a bit, and was struck by the amazing competence of the "help" vs: the pathetic fail that is: most people in most fields. Also, by the amazing nincompoopery of MOST of the Bar members I've met. I've only dealt with three reasonably competent lawyers in my life, and people treated them like Clarence Darrow for being merely competent. YMMV.

  7. Re:And this is why medical pot has a hard time on Colorado Newspaper Looking for Marijuana Reviewer · · Score: 1

    My friend, Bob (Unix, not MS), was forbidden by the judge to mention his medical condition or doctor's recommendation when he was tried in Sacramento for cultivating his personal garden. My observation is that people in the "criminal justice" careers have a much lower per-capita level of law compliance and observance than average human-types. Also if you read the text of Prop. 215, you may notice that it does not lend itself to legal interpretation as much as a common-sense one, hence the courts have had a field day re-defining the meanings of the words.

  8. Re:isn't that why we have judges on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That one in ten cases is incorrectly sentenced by this system says to me that some of the attorneys are filling these forms out; When the clerks take care of it, they usually get it right.

    Acetaminophen always made me queasy, then I looked it up in the P.D.R; I can't believe that shit is legal. Avoid it. Really. And DON'T Take it when you have a hangover. It WILL destroy you. As our chickenshit doctors kowtow to our Evil Overlords, I dread my next week's root-canal experience, knowing that, once again, I will be forced to endure days of needless pain. I am going to experiment with grapefruit, so that I just might be able to ingest a useful dose of the opiate without suffering a lethal dose of Acetaminophen. Wish me luck.

    I dunno about Percocet, but Xanax has a strong correlation with suicides and Campanile/Rifle incidents, whilst Vicodin has some good therapeutic value, aside from the opportunity for total liver destruction from the toxin Acetaminophen. Too bad The People don't have any one medically qualified to protect them from their government.

    Yeah, I used to get that, especially the one about "no-one's going to get you out of bed in the morning to go to work." One of my favorite old bosses would come by every morning with a steaming cup of Peet's, to see if I was busy.

    I read once of a virus using the contacts list to propagate to new victims. Since then, I have not allowed any names to be stored there. I keep email addresses in my wallet, with my phone numbers for my cordless phone. I also don't let my computer save my password, simple as it is.

  15. YHBT;HAND on New Jersey Outshines Most Others In Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    I wasn't being (totally) pointlessly evil, thank-you for getting it. I should do a journal instead of this passive-aggressive shite. Community efforts are good, collectivism is not. It is a slippery slope and far too easy to sling darts at the various actors in the comedy. Many do mean well, I'm sure.
    Cash for Clunkers is a a good example, for the reasons you state, plus it benefits people with enough liquid cash to get a new car more than thrifty people saving up for a used car, or folks too hard-pressed to be buying a new car at all. Nice targeting, Herr Tell.

    In a quest for fairness, we should subsidise the homeowners as much as we do our private utilities companies.

  17. Re:Carbon emissions sleep with the fishes on New Jersey Outshines Most Others In Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    As someone who votes, IMO my opinion carries some weight here, (if not in Sacramento or D.C.)(or Jersey) I feel that society benefits when some burden is shifted from our electrical grid. If it unfairly benefits property and homeowners, that precedent was already set by the utilities cor- persons.
